Hi, as anyone mounted this fan outside, I am looking to put it on a covered Patio by the Ocean, thanks

I don't see a problem with that but I would call Westinghouse and double check. 800-999-2226

The fan isn't made for outdoor use. That being said will it have a chance to get wet?

We have ours "indoors" in a room where the windows and doors are rarely closed and we get major trade winds just off the ocean. Everything rusts normally. So far so good with this and it has been about a year. No rust and the metal blades don't have the problem of turning to mush or separating that "composite" blades have. In a year or two my answer might be different, but right now I am pleased with them and they are very effective at cooling, just make sure the ceiling is high enough. It is not a fan I'd stick my fingers into while it is moving.

I love my fan. It has stood up to a year of Oklahoma weather, but I've installed it under a roof. I don't know how it will do where it is exposed like under a pergola. Sorry.

Hi Michael. Thank you for your inquiry. This ceiling fan is UL Damp Rated. Usually, a fan should be UL Wet Rated for the outdoors. Although, we cannot recommend it for the outdoors, you may be able to put it under a porch or outdoors that would be protected from rain and the other elements. Please make sure you refer to their warranty. Hope this helps! LightsOnline

No this is not the outdoor version of the Original fan. You would want the 23847 Damp rated fan. I don't think Amazon has it right now.

As long as you have a standard fan housing, it would be possible to use this fan outdoors. However, I would not recommend it since the blade material is wood and the housing is not designed for outdoor usage. This means that the blades will eventually droop and the internal components will corrode; this process will be accelerated if you live in a place with relatively high humidity.

If your patio is enclosed it will be great. You will have to sit right in front of it if your patio is open. It does have oscillation in the fan. So that is helpful to cool down everywhere.

My Dear Lasko 2521 Oscillating fan user...Hello Anne T. Yes it could be used outdoors but who would want to. I wouldn't want to. if it works for you then, by all means go ahead, that just plum tickles me all over the place, just be careful where you plug it in and not near where water is present. Enjoy your 3 speed Lasko Oscillating fan.

l have two fans on 24 inch down rod with no wobble in exterior covered patio. fan is a good product with excellent exterior finish. i do not think you will have wobble using longer down rod. i am happy with my two fans after one year of use.

I don't think so. My past experience has been when using a fan outside it has to be rated for outdoor use. Too much chance for rust, etc. I would see what manufacturer's specs state.

I had mine mounted outside and found the wind would blow it out. I mounted it inside under my kitchen sink and it works flawlessly.

Hi Dianna, thanks for the question. It's a good one. This fan has been designed and built to withstand outdoor elements. Most fans are meant for indoor use, and therefore are not built with the Oil-Bath Lubrication System, weather-resistant blades, stainless steel hardware, indestructible cast-iron housing, and the Hunter Original Motor-the most powerful motor available. All of this is factored into not only the value of the fan, but the pricing as well. We hope this helps Dianna. Please, if you have any other questions, reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

I bought this fan for that same reason. It isn't as big as I wanted, but it makes an okay sound. However, it doesn't cover outside noise as well as I would like, so I would try to get something bigger. Hope my answer didn't come too late!

I have mine mounted outside to my porch ceiling. Lately it's been between -2 and 30 degrees F. It has been working perfectly the whole time.

Assuming the fan wil be protected from the elements [rain, wind and heat] this fan would be ideal. Its rustic tones draws the eye to the fan in our living room and receives nothing but compliments.

By design this is an indoor only fan so it should only be used in fully enclosed indoor type space with walls, insulation etc... For outdoor use you would want a fan labeled "indoor/outdoor", a fan like this would be constructed with ABS blades instead of wood blades and the metal finishes and corrosion resistance properties would be more appropriate for an outdoor setting.

This fan is wet rated. It is meant for outdoor use. One of the few you could actually use on a perrgola.

The fan is definitely designed to be mounted on the inside. To install outside, you'd likely have to build a frame on which to mount the fan, and then mount the frame and fan to the exterior wall. As far as weather protection, I'm really not sure.
